DATA_REPRESENTATION

This policy has request-offer semantics. A DDSDataWriter may only offer a single representation. Attempting to put multiple representations in a DDSDataWriter will result in DDS_RETCODE_INCONSISTENT_POLICY. A DDSDataWriter will use its offered policy to communicate with its matched DDSDataReader entities. A DDSDataReader requests one or more representations. If a DDSDataWriter offers a representation that is contained within the sequence of the DDSDataReader, the offer satisfies the request and the policies are compatible. Otherwise, they are incompatible.

When representations are specified in the DDS_TopicQos, ::DDSPublisher::copy_from_topic_qos copies the first element of the sequence, and copies the whole sequence.
